I remember playing this game, Virtual Pool, on my ex's desktop in the early 2000s and watching these tip videos made me such a better player.

Same man. Helped me massively on the table and playing the game as well allowed you to practice and see where different levels and types of English would send the cue ball. I reinstalled Virtual Pool 3 lately as I still had that one in a cupboard and its still amazing. So smooth and realistic!!!

1:10 , 7 ball to corner pocket seems impossible? No problem, edit to 4 ball being made then come back!

Mike seigel did one as well. Best I can tell his wasnt edited. There's a guy named "dark horse' who has run a rack of snooker in 37 seconds.

That's just the crappy editing and lack of cameras. They thought it looked better that way, so they edited that in. He did make that 7 ball. He for sure ran that rack. I've seen him running multiple racks in a row without missing in professional competition.

ThalesPo Yeah originally I thought he could not see the 7 but after watching again it clearly goes. Just bad editing I guess.

I worked for Lou in Wilkes-Barre, PA at "Lou's House of Champions." I loved to watch him practice on table 10, which was his custom made table with extra tight pockets. He had a standing challenge to play anyone on that table. I never was able to get to his level.

I saw Lou play in the Worlds Championships in North Hollywood during the 1970's. Bret Schrager made a quality cue stick for Lou. I had Bert made me two cue sticks, one for 3 cushion billiards and one for 14-1 billiards. Lou was such a great gentleman to the game. RIP Lou.
